Lyrics

======

The window burns to light the way back home,

A light light that warms no matter where they've gone

They're off to find the hero of the day,

Hmm, but what if they should fall by someone's wicked ways?

Still the window burns

Time so slowly turns

Someone there is sighing

Keepers of the flames, do ya feel your names

Can't you hear your babies cryin'?

Mama they try and break me

Still they try and break me

Excuse me while I tend to how I feel

These things return to me that still seem real

Now deservingly, this easy chair

Mmm, but the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don't want your aid,

But the fist i made for you can't hold off fear

No, I'm not all me

So please excuse me while i tend to how i feel

Bridge

------

But now the dreams and waking dreams

They everlast the night

So build a wall

Behind it crawl

And hide until it's light

So can't you hear your babies crying now

Still the window burns

Time so slowly turns

Someone there is sighing

Keepers of the flames, can't you hear your names

Can't you hear your babies cryin'?

But now the dreams and waking dreams

They everlast the night

So build a wall

Behind it crawl

And hide until it's light

So can't you hear your babies crying now

Mama they try and break me

Mama they try, Mama they try

Mama they try and break me

Mama they try, Mama they try
